Current pending sector count - Hitachi
Hi,
I have scanned my Hitachi hard drive with HD Tune Pro and it found 2 damaged blocks - in S.M.A.R.T the Current pending sector count became 2. I have used Hitachi Drive Fitness test and erased the disk. Then I scanned it with the Advanced test and it completed successfully. After that I have preinstalled my OS and scanned the drive again - this time no damaged blocks! But in S.M.A.R.T the current pending sector count is still 2?! Why is that so? Should have these sectors been reallocated to the spare area?
Thanks!
